FoR THE RELIEF and ire of the Inflammation
and congestion called "a cold in the head there
is more potency in Elys Cream Balm than in
anything else it is possible to prescribe. This
preparation has for years past been making a
brilliant success as remedy for cold in the head,
catarrh aud hay fever. Used in the initial stages
of these complaints Cream Balm prevents any Sc
rious development of the symptoms, while almost
numberless cases are on record of radical cures of
chronic catarrh and hay fever after all other
modes of treatment have proved of no avail.

PHYSICIANS FEES -The State Auditor
having refused to allow to ply sicians who
hold commissions de lnnatico iuquirendo al
the city Jail larger fee than is paid witness
es in such cases, the matter was brought to
the attention Of the Commonwealth Attor
ney. He wrote to the State Auditor asking
him for the Attorney Generals opinion on
the subject, and this morning received a re-
ply stating that the Attorney General had
decided that the attendance of but one, the
family physician, was necessary at such
commissions held by magistrates and that
such Physician was entitled to only the same
fee as allowed to other witnesses. 1t is I'M
derstood that some of the city physicians
have said that they will hereafter refuse to
attend such commissions, in which case the
magistrates will be compelled to summon
them, according to law, as witnesses.
